They all look good to me. No. 2 being my fave. Did you get any equipment shots, say of a ball wool needles etc. I personally like to get a a couple of non people shots to throw into the mix. But that's just me I don't shoot any assignments :-) Cheers, Dave 2009/4/10 Christine Aguila

Hi Christine, The unposed ones (#5, #6, #7) are the best--the can tell the story by themselves. I would have taken the unposed photos first before finally posing her; in fact, I would not 'pose' her at all in the 'formal' sense. By starting off with the unposed photos, you get your friend used

Enjoyed all, Crristine, but #7 is my choice by far. The OOF hand has me slightly bothered, but it might be seen as a result of motion. Jack --- On Thu, 4/9/09, Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net wrote: From: Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net Subject: GESO Liu shoot To: pdml
